A future world where men control the financial and the empowering facets of every woman. She's a mother to a gifted daughter, too old and unattached to succeed financially and whose choices for betterment are minimal. The scares arise from her choices but her heart makes it logical. 23-Aug-2018

The mother/son dynamic felt natural to the actors and its where I wanted to linger. As soon as the sci-fi conspiracies are exasperatingly unwrapped all sense is lost and Rapace's performance recedes. 18-Jul-2018

Pockets of beauty, CGI amazement and a score that predates the original. What tears from the pockets is an incompleteness of the human voice and a celebration of what is going to enslave us. 10-Jan-2018

As soon as Travolta opens his mouth to spit fey Shakespearean New York, the attention-span for the story disappears. While you wait for Travolta to stop putting us on you start noticing that the character's rubber hands bend and lay inappropriately, the Eiffel Tower boots adds clunk and slump to their walk and that their pouches swell at attention. I left before any of it made it to my bloodstream. 21-Dec-2017

Its really hard to deduce whether the film celebrates or exploits its themes. The rock music isn't engaged to the story as it is attached. It also slogs towards the last chapter that contains the only captivating fable. 20-Dec-2017

We've bullied and judged Anne Hathaway so harshly that she is no longer capable of supplying a character with natural ticks. Even when her character begs to be petulant, her need to be liked overwhelms. The only way she can surprise us is by inhabiting the soul "the haters" hashtagged her with and let it all go. The support also reciprocates badly.

This soup is a melange of original ideas executed by a crew that didn't understand them and a writer who sabotaged it.

Exhaustion might make Pratt squishier but it deters him from mixing the right cocktail that would allow him chemistry with Lawrence. Lawrence fares better but the box she's given to act in isolates her. It's a study of "something else" in the actors' minds that the audience shouldn't be privy to. 29-Nov-2017
